synflux | [OPEN] RV Park Party

Yeah. That's good.

[Katsuki holds both his hands a little bit away from the rotating shape. Charging up the explosions in his palms isn't too much an issue, but rather than detonating them, he regulates the charge to simply exude heat.

It's not the mot comfortable technique, compared to popping and snapping off smaller controlled explosions, but it works to form a sort of convection oven between his hands. Not hot enough to burn the blood, but enough to quickly start to dry it out. First the very outermost layer, then slowly working its way further in.

So long as Yuji keeps the blood in that shape, it's going to dry out and solidify into, yeah, that shape. Likely not as effective as the sorcerer hardening it himself, but it's certainly usable.]

Woah…

[ Yuji watches it all happen, eyes wide and curious as Katsuki uses his quirk, solidifying the blood and making the shape more solid. Their abilities work together in tandem, and Yuji leans down to watch, getting as close to it as he dares.

It’s impressive. Everything about Katsuki is impressive.

Leaning back, he grins, expression wide and excited. ]

That’s so cool!

[He won't take full credit for this. The blood manipulation and keeping it circulating and shaped while Katsuki does the dry out is all on Yuji's part.

There's something inspiring about seeing the control the guy does have, even if he's still learning through the first proverbial chapters. Knowing how fast Yuji learns, it's pretty damn incredible he's come this far already. Yuji's amazing.

Please don't blow your face of, Gari Head...]

Heh, damn right. Leave a hole in the top.

[ It's taking almost all of Yuji's focus just to do this, and his expression shows it off, a focus that only really comes out in him when he has to fight or do something dangerous - his attention is on the blood and nothing else.

Flexing his fingers a little, he breathes out. This is hard, and if his concentration breaks for even a second... ]

Yeah, I got it... Like this...

[Katsuki eases off the heat of his hands as he pulls them back, leaving the hardened blood hovering above Yuji's palm. There shouldn't be too much left but to make the little hole in the top as he asked. Rather than just break it in with a push of his finger, it's better to let Yuji practice reshaping the hardened blood. If there's not much difference between dried-out blood and cursed energy concentrated-and-hardened blood...]

Good. Let it go.

[He'll either catch it or it'll fall into Yuji's palm once the boy stops concentrating on it.]

[ It's easier for Yuji to move and manipulate blood that's already been hardened, because that's what Choso does for him - he makes the blood and Yuji uses it the way he was taught by Noritoshi-senpai. When the little orb falls, it drops into Katsuki's hands. ]

We did it.

[Katsuki grins at the orb, handling it lightly as he gingerly tests the stability of the orb. If it's as weak as the thinnest paper mache, it's not gonna help, but if the walls are thick enough, it'll definitely do what he's thinking.]

Yosha.

[It's thick enough. At least thick enough for a trial run. They can work on the thickness later.]

This is so cool...

[ Yuji leans forward to look at it, eyes wide with excitement. ]

I never thought about doing anything like this.

You need to learn more flexibility, Gari Head.

[Even if you're learning the basics, at least thinking about the possibilities is important. Even as a kid, Katsuki wrote down tons of ideas and ultimate moves for his Quirk, when all he could do (at the time) was a few little pops and chibi booms.]

Now that it's hard, can you still control its movement?

I only just learned the technique, cut me some slack.

[ Yuji's grinning, though, as he reaches out with his technique. He can move it, just, shifting it here and there with little movements of his fingers. ]

Like that?

I did.

[Hence no yelling or berating him. Just some smug advice for the future. Once Yuji has it moving, Katsuki nods.]

Yeah. Hold it in the air, with the hole facing up.

[ He moves it around, shifting it absently, making a mental note to show this off to Choso later. ]

Hole up... Like that. I got it.

[Once it's positioned, Katsuki holds his hand above the orb, fingers down. It takes a second, but droplets of sweat start to leak down his palm and drool onto his middle finger, then start to drip drip drip into the orb. He only puts in enough to make a small puddle at the bottom before making a fist to cut off the supply.]

Okay, now roll it around gently, so that coats the insides.

[What'd you do with your friend this evening? "MADE BOMBS!"]

[ Sometimes, true friendship is making sweat and blood hand grenades.

Yuji flexes the little orb, moving it this way and that - he can't really say it's gross when it's literally made out of his own blood, but if anyone was watching them... They'd definitely find this weird. ]

We definitely have to try this next mission.

[Hey it's a complex dare, but if this works out, then he'll be able to supply Yuji with explosive grenades during battles. Also Yuji gets to flex his powers more.

And Katsuki professes he's not a nerd...

Anyone watching them can fuck off. There's sweat and blood going into this. Though hopefully those two can mean there won't be the proverbial third: tears.]

That's why I wanted to try this. Whatever's out in the desert's gonna be a pain in the ass.

Do you think we can make a set of them before the fighting starts? Choso could help too.

[ Choso could probably use them, actually, or make some more, or whatever he wants to do. ]

Yeah. I can't be with you all the time out there, but at least you can carry some of me with you.

[... and then goes beet red when his brain catches up with his mouth. FUCK!]

Well, it's going to be the same for me to you, in that case.

[ Yuji, at least, doesn't see anything wrong with the comment, and just beams. ]

Like protecting each other from afar.

'rusei...

[It's not wrong, just... embarrassing. Ugh. Katsuki rubs the side of his head in annoyance, but doesn't dismiss Yuji's comment.]

All right. I can't detonate this externally, so it's gonna have to get shaken or heated to go off.

Can you shake it and throw it before it goes off?

[ Yuji frowns, leaning forward to look at their handiwork. ]

Or put some sweat on the outside, something like that?

Don't shake it! It'll explode if it's roughed up.

[Nitroglycerine and all.]

All you have to do is throw it.

Right. So how are we going to store them?

[ If they're running around and they'll just go off... ]

Running around isn't going to set them off. I usually carry two or three of them on my belt when I'm in costume.

[Yuji's seen how Katsuki bounces around when he fights. It takes really pitching the things to get them to impact and explode.]

Mine aren't as rudimentary as this though.

[He frowns at the grenade above Yuji's hand. This was just a prototype to see if the idea would even work.]

Maybe we can put something around it, or figure something out with the blood. There must be a way or something.

[ Yuji frowns, leaning back to stare at the weird creation they've made. ]

This is just a prototype, anyway. We can work out the issues with it as we make more.

Aa. Some plastic wrap inside would prevent it from absorbing into the inner wall.

[That's not a big problem, if the coating of sweat isn't enough to get through the shell of the grenade, but it's an idea to reinforce the strength of the wall.]

There's always freezing it.

[That would prevent the risk of accidental explosions, but the impact to made it detonate would have to be even greater than the "wet" version.]
